"Boom"
A mushroom cloud brimming with vitality rose from the ground, attracting the astonished gazes of the surrounding wizards and slave army, while also killing and solidifying tens of Cyborg controlled by cyborgs.
The violent shockwave blasted a crater tens of meters in diameter into the ground, and the intense light at the center of the explosion could melt a thirty-meter-tall level-three metal giant.
As if a star had fallen to earth, all the metal figures within a two-kilometer radius of the explosion remained frozen in their final pose.
The metal figure three kilometers away was blasted away by the violent shockwave. The destructive power within this range was still considerable, retaining a terrifying attack power of over 2000 points.
If any creatures of flesh and blood were within this range, they would surely suffer severe damage. However, these golden legions that were blown away showed no discomfort and casually stood up, covered in mud.
He looked as relaxed as if he had just woken up and gotten out of bed.
"Thank you, sir."
Benji expressed his gratitude loudly.
He knew that the intensity of the battlefield was not enough for Leo to use nuclear weapons. The only problem was that his descendants were in danger, which was why Lord Leo had to use nuclear weapons to relieve the crisis.
"They lack experience in large-scale warfare. Don't stretch the battle lines too thin. Reduce the lines and conserve your strength. This is a war that could last for more than ten years."
Leo held the Godslaying Staff in his hand, with a large club formed from activated metal floating behind him. He appeared relaxed and casual on the battlefield, but in reality, he was concerned about the dynamic changes of the entire battlefield.
The wizard's slave army, empowered by the living metal, severely overestimated its defensive capabilities and recklessly engaged the metal army in battle, completely ignoring the fact that the metal army outnumbered them by hundreds of times.
They also failed to consider that the Metal Legion was more difficult to kill than they had imagined.
The wizard's slave army, with its diverse attack capabilities, could gain the upper hand at the beginning, and could maintain that advantage for a day or even ten days.
But once they fall into a disadvantageous position, they will face certain death.
This is reflected in the current battlefield situation. Although the slave legions seem to be firmly holding the front line and are even able to advance, they have not actually caused enough damage.
If the Metal Legion in front of them wasn't killed, the Metal Legion behind them would join the melee, and more and more Metal Legion would gradually crush the battle line.
The Gulu Beast army was no exception; they had never experienced large-scale warfare before, and their previous experience consisted entirely of attacking metal fortresses.
The enemy huddled inside the fortress, allowing them to attack. Although it was a bit tough, the danger wasn't high.
In battlefields involving tens or hundreds of millions of people, the enemy won't wait for them to make the first move; they've also learned how to fight effectively.
Not everyone has Leo's ability; he can slaughter these Metal Legion as easily as reaping crops with a sickle.
Throughout the entire battlefield, there are very few Great Wizard who can make Leo treat the battlefield like a game.
The vast majority of wizards and slaves could only fight them one by one, one by one, to the death.
The Gulu Beast army was too confident, stretching its defenses too far and making its lines weak. The Metal Legion could easily break through them with just a little effort.
Normally, in this situation, the slave army would have to sacrifice their lives to protect the defensive line. As long as the battle line could be kept from being breached, who would care how many slaves died?
Leo cares
But who could blame him when Leo had painstakingly raised these Gulu Beast himself?
If he doesn't save them, who will?
When a nuclear bomb weakens the Metal Legion's offensive power, it gives the defensive line, which is being defended by the Gulu Beast, a chance to catch their breath.
Before the Metal Legion can advance, quickly adjust and reinforce the defensive line to sustain the battle for a longer period.
Leo and Yaoyao could hear Benji's hysterical shouts and curses. The fact that Leo wanted Li Xi to come to their rescue instead of them protecting Leo Benji made his face burn with embarrassment.
Of course, this was also because Leo had exhausted his magic power and could no longer use the Gravity Domain, so he took out the nuclear bomb as an emergency measure.
If you have enough magic power, you can also use Gravity Domain to instantly wipe out the entire Metal Legion in front of the Gulu Beast defense line.
"The nuclear bomb's destructive power against these Metal Legion has been reduced to a minimum, with the lethality compressed to within two kilometers, killing no more than 20,000 Metal Legion." Yaoyao quickly summarized the nuclear bomb's explosion situation for Leo.
The nuclear bomb, once Leo's trump card, is now becoming increasingly ineffective.
Against these indestructible, heavily armored Metal Legion, only those within a few hundred meters of the explosion's epicenter pose a threat to the level three metal giants.
Even if you escape the epicenter of the explosion, a nuclear bomb cannot kill a Level 3 Metal Giant.
"The destructive power of a nuclear bomb is equivalent to a large-scale magical attack by a Level Three Great Wizard. Once I reach level three, every attack I launch will be a nuclear explosion."
Leo was not surprised by the diminished effectiveness of nuclear weapons. This was not because the weapons' offensive power had weakened, but because the battlefields he was experiencing were rapidly becoming more challenging, and his opponents were no longer the insignificant figures of the past. Now, only truly strong individuals could be worthy of being Leo's adversaries.
During the first-level expedition, he stayed on the edge of the battlefield, not daring to get close, for fear of being swept away by the aftershocks of the battle.
Back in the Black Tomb World, when he and Alice had just reached level one, they were just helping out on the edge of the battlefield, sometimes only encountering one enemy a whole day.
Now, Leo is in the center of the battlefield, wreaking havoc on the native army—a feat far beyond what he had accomplished before.
As for the aftershocks of the battlefield that once killed me, I feel nothing now.
"Watch out, a Level 3 Metal Giant is coming!"
The previous Gravity Domain and nuclear bombing left gaps in Leo's Metal Legion, making him stand alone on the battlefield, which looked very conspicuous.
Especially with the surrounding forest of solidified metal statues, no matter what kind of smile Leo wore, it couldn't hide his image as a master wizard.
I don't know where the commander of the Metal Legion is, but he must be keeping an eye on the entire battlefield.
While the level-three metal giants were being targeted and attacked by the secondary guns of the warship and the mothership, more than one hundred level-three combatants were deployed to lead a Metal Legion to attack Leo's direction.
Such high regard for Li Xi reveals that, in the eyes of the Metal Legion's commanders, Leo posed a terrifying threat.
Otherwise, a Level Two Wizard wouldn't need a hundred level three warriors to eliminate him.
"That's a terrifying number. How do they have so many level-three combatants?"
Leo stood alone at the forefront of the battlefield, like a bulge in a defensive line, watching the Metal Legion charging towards him and sighing repeatedly at the sheer number of high-level combatants in the Metal Legion, a number that was abnormally high.
If the normal promotion ratio is one in one hundred level one creatures to level two, and one in one hundred level two creatures to level three.
But with the Metal Legion, they doubled that ratio, producing one higher-level being out of fifty.
However, despite being shocked by the proportion of high-level combat power in the Metal Legion, Leo did not move an inch, remaining firmly stationed at the crenellation, far beyond the normal battle line.
With one hundred 30-meter-tall metal giants of level three combat strength at the crest, and a large number of smaller Metal Legion rushing towards Leo like a tsunami, they wanted to crush him to death here.
Fortunately, he hadn't seen the 70-meter-tall metal giant yet. If that kind of high-level level three combat power had arrived, Leo would have had to run away.
With his current strength, he really can't deal with the highest-level 70-meter metal giant!
"How can I fight you? Your magic power hasn't fully recovered yet." Yaoyao stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips.
Although there was no blood flowing in his body, seeing so many Metal Legion being mobilized to kill Leo gave him an inexplicable urge to fight.
Leo has a multitude of ways to survive; he's practically invincible no matter how much you attack him.
"How to hit? Of course, hit hard."
" Body Refinement Wizard, Second Layer Thunderstorm Giant Bloodline, Activated!"
Leo showed no fear whatsoever, only excitement. He let out a low roar and instantly activated his second Bloodline Power. The Thunderstorm Giant, over eleven meters tall, stood up, crackling with lightning power. His pale blue eyes, crackling with electric arcs, coldly stared at the onrushing Metal Legion.
"You continue with nuclear fission to replenish your mana; I'll deal with them."
After speaking to Yaoyao, who was hiding in the ear canal, the Thunderstorm Giant reached behind and grabbed the giant stick that had transformed from the living metal behind him.
With a diameter of fifty centimeters and a length of fourteen meters, it swept away the surrounding solidified metal statues with a casual wave, and the gust of wind from the stick tore a trench in the ground.
Leo felt the increasing magical power within his body, which allowed his mana-poor body to recover rapidly.
Because Yaoyao is still maintaining her original fission level, the increase in the quality of fission is not significant, only increasing from 0.2 grams to 0.4 grams. Each fission replenishes 4% of the total mana, meaning that it would take 25 fissions to restore the mana in her body to its full value.
Even with the mana replenishment from the Godslaying Staff, Leo was still unable to recover quickly.
His total mana far exceeds that of a normal Level Two Wizard, so restoring his mana to full value is naturally not an easy task.
" Thunder Conversion Great Sorcery!"
The little remaining magical power in his body was completely transformed into lightning power, which circulated rapidly around his blood vessels.
The Thunderstorm Giant swallowed a handful of nuclear materials, its eyes flashing with lightning as it calculated complex formulas.
"Hold on tight, we're going in."
The Thunderstorm Giant, wielding its massive club, crouched slightly before unleashing a sudden burst of power. With a deafening boom, its enormous body shot out of the air.
Before the Metal Legion that came to kill Leo could even reach Leo, Leo had already charged into the midst of the Metal Legion.
"Boom boom boom"
The 30-meter-tall metal giant now extends cannons, unleashing a barrage of indiscriminate, all-encompassing attacks on the charging Thunderstorm Giant.
Even with a saturation attack, ensuring the Thunderstorm Giant's speed exceeds that of the cannonballs, it's still impossible to dodge their barrage of bullets.
But the Thunderstorm Giant, seeing the wall of cannonballs in front of it, made no attempt to dodge and crashed into it with a 'boom'.
